Fig. 5 is a section through the usual anvil f taken along a plane parallel to the address-plate guideway, g being an addressplate in printing position and j the ink-ribbon.
Patent GB-649889-A (GB)
Abstract: 649,889. Loose leaf binders. KENRICK & JEFFERSON, Ltd., and KENRICK, A. W. Oct. 19, 1948, No. 27081. [Class 146 (i)] In a loose-leaf binder wherein each cover is of box-like or double walled construction, the two parallel plates 12, 15 forming the inner and outer walls are interconnected along their front and sides by a continuous wall 16 formed from a stiff but pliant or resilient non-metallic substance such as india-rubber or a suitable plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, the wall 16 having grooves or channels 16a, 16b adjacent the edges in which the panels 12 and 15 are engaged. The panel 12 is formed with a flange 12a at one end and with a narrow flange 12b on the two sides and the front which fits into the grooves 16a of L-shape while the outer panel 15 is a sliding fit into the groove 16b so that the outer panel can be easily removed for inspection of internal fittings or for replacement by a panel of a different colour. The invention is described with reference to a thong binder in which thongs 19 are fixed to a member 21 having a box 21a through which passes a screwed rod 22 mounted in bearing blocks 25, 26 in one of the covers and turned by a key passing through a perforation 16c in the outer wall of the cover. The thongs 19 are fixed to one clamping bar and pass through recesses 14a and over a bar 14b forming part of the other clamping bar 14 and pass into the cover through apertures in the flange 12a. As shown, the clamping bars 14 are connected to the covers by blocks 17, lying flush with the outer wall 16, riveted to the inner walls 12 by means of a right-angle extension 17a and having hinge pins 18 which screw into the ends of the clamping bars. An alternative connection of the covers to the clamping bars is described in which a bar is riveted or otherwise attached to the flange 12a and the hinge pins 18 pass through holes in cranked ends of such bar. The panels 12, 15 are maintained spaced apart by bars or strips of wood 28, 29, those, 28, in the cover with the thong mechanism being adjacent and parallel with the side edges and those, 29, in the other cover being diagonally arranged. The Provisional Specification describes also a construction in which the member 21 is made, by stamping or pressing from sheet metal, in two plate-like parts each having a central semicylindrical part forming a tubular sleeve when the plates are super-imposed, which sleeve is threaded for engagement by the traversing rod 22 and the ends of the plates are bent so as to form a gap between the ends of the plates for the ends of the thongs 19, the plates being clamped together by screw pins.

IPC: F27D21/00
Abstract: 664,381. Radio-active liquid-level gauges. FORD MOTOR CO., Ltd. Dec. 16, 1949 [April 15, 1949], No. 32372/49. Class 40 (iii). The level of molten metal in the well of a cupola furnace is indicated by arranging for a beam of penetrating radiation interrupted or reflected by the metal to be detected by a vertical column of Geiger counter tubes. As shown, radio-active material 16, e.g. radioactive Cobalt 60 in an aluminium container, is mounted in a lead block 14 and held on the furnace wall by a welded steel casing 28. The lead block is apertured as at 15 so as to direct a beam of radiation across the furnace to a vertical bank of Geiger counters 19. As the level rises, radiation is reduced to each counter in turn so that an amplifier and recorder fed by their combined output may be calibrated directly in terms of liquid level. There may be a number of such vertical banks. If desired the counters and radio-active source may be situated on the same side of the furnace, the counters being screened from direct radiation from the source so that as the level rises the counters receive radiation reflected from the melt. Fig. 4 also shows an arrangement for preventing injury to persons entering the cupola in which the radio-active material is mounted in a movable lead block 20 held in position by a piston 25 supplied with the air pressure to the furnace, so that if air pressure fails the radio-active material recedes out of alignment with the aperture 15. In a further embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the lead piston is held up by a solenoid carrying the current supplying the furnace lower motor.

Title: Preparation of low calorie beer
IPC: C12C7/04
Filed: 1980-07-18
Abstract: Low calorie beer is prepared by introducing into the brewing process a rice pullulanase, which reduces the calorie content of the beer by cleaving 1-6 linkages of unfermentable limit dextrins to form alpha 1,4 dextrins which can be converted by grain enzymes to sugars that can be fermented by brewer's yeast. The enzyme may be introduced into the brewing process by adding enzyme extracted from rice to the mash; by adding the debranching enzyme previously isolated from rice to the wort prior to fermentation or preferably by adding the debranching enzyme to wort in the fermentor, or by adding rice to the wort. The debranching enzyme may be obtained from commercially polished dry milled rice. Methods of isolating the enzyme and a storage stable form of the enzyme are disclosed, wherein rice is treated with an aqueous buffer at pH 6 and 0 to 60 DEG C, e.g. in 0.1M potassium sorbate-0.2M NaCl at 50 DEG C for 3 hours; the extract being dialyzed against a solution of a sublimable salt e.g. NH4CO3 and freeze-dried.
